Sonian Joins Application Packaging Standard Ecosystem

NEWTON, MA, Jan 03, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Sonian, the pioneer in cloud-powered archiving and search, today
announced it has integrated its Email Archive solution with Parallels
Automation. Utilizing the Application Packaging Standard (APS), the
Sonian Gold certified APS package enables Parallels Automation
Partners to provide this robust mission-critical service to their
small and medium business (SMB) customers. The new integration allows
Sonian to work seamlessly with the Parallels control panel,
provisioning and billing system, making it possible for SMBs to
purchase a subscription from their service provider via the Parallels
self-service portal and manage their Sonian Email Archive service
directly. This zero-touch approach is enabled for a wide range of
SaaS/IaaS cloud offerings, which are currently available within the
Parallels APS ecosystem.

"Parallels welcomes Sonian to the ecosystem of APS-enabled ISV
partners," said, John Zanni, Vice President of Service Provider
Marketing and Alliances at Parallels. "Sonian is a well recognized
brand in the Email Archive cloud service segment, and we expect their
solution to prove to be popular with our service provider partners
and their SMB customers."
Under the APS Gold certification program, Parallels and Sonian have
already on-boarded two major distribution partners. Both Apptix, the
premier provider of hosted business communication, collaboration and
IT solutions, and TTLC, a service provider in internet and IT
solutions, have been provisioning Sonian's archiving services for
several months. There are also a number of other partners working
through the on-boarding phase. These companies, and future customers,
will benefit from continuous compliance and email archiving support
directly from Sonian.

"Every day the IT world continues to advance, accompanied by
compliance regulations and new industry standards that require better
data storage management from companies," said Jeff Dickerson, CEO at
Sonian. "We are very excited to be part of the Parallels APS
ecosystem with our newly released Gold certified APS package, because
together we can continue to quickly accelerate deployment of our
email archiving solutions to the SMB market that meets these new
higher levels of storage and eDiscovery needs."
